Sexually Transmitted Infections Prevalence and Cascade of Care among Undocumented Sex Workers: A Twenty-Year-Long Experience.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Undocumented migrant sex-workers (SW) are vulnerable to Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). However, data regarding prevalence and linkage-to-care are lacking. Defining epidemiology is crucial to implement preventive measures. We report data from SW attending a facility for migrants in Piacenza, Italy. We collected medical records from 1999 until 2021. Quantitative variables were summarized as mean and standard deviation (SD), and qualitative ones by absolute and relative frequencies. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the relationship between sociodemographic, clinical variables, positive testing, and loss to follow-up (LFU). Overall, 1035 STI episodes were collected, 917 in cisgender-females (CF), and 118 in transgender-females (TF). Overall, 474 diagnoses were made. Three-hundred-ninety-two/474 (82.7%) started therapy, and 264/474 (55.7%) complied with a follow-up. Only 51.5% of HBV and 30.8% of HIV were linked to care.
